        Verdict

        COILLTE CAILIN is upped 5lb for winning at Wolverhampton last time but David O’Meara’s mare should confirm running with third-placed Mica Mika and can go in again. The latter had earlier finished behind Arrowzone at Epsom while Van Huysen counted Marshgate Lane as one of his victims when landing a course and distance double last month and is 4lb higher today. Ready is preferred to Fort Bastion and Passing Star with the latter pair unproven over today’s longer trip.
